He was the first person in 3,000 years to enter an ancient Egyptian burial chamber in a tomb know as KV5 in the Valley of the Kings. In 2000, he moved to Florence, Italy, with his family to investigate an unsolved murder mystery involving a  serial killer which resulted in problems with the Italian police.
